Description¶

The toolkit recommends at-home reading strategies to help families support literacy development, including a "Read-at-Home" plan outlined in a parental contract, the individual reading plan, parent training workshops, and regular parent-guided home reading activities. These should be provided once a student is identified with a reading difficulty or is at risk of 3rd-grade retention.
